I updated my system this morning, and now my owl intranet database cannot connect. OWL connects over http and uses mysql and php; it was working fine before this morning's system update.
Now I'm getting an error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_pconnect in [PATH]/db_mysql.inc on line 74
php.ini has persistent connections on
the mysql.so extension is uncommented
Any idea what is causing this?

This was odd. The libmysql package was installed, but somehow installed incorrectly as I was getting a libsqlclient error when I tried to run mysql from the command line. I reinstalled the package and everything works.

I can confirm this, it started when I ran pacman -Syu this afternoon though I cannot fix it the same way that you did. I had to revert back to php-5.1.6-4 to get it to work with my database, otherwise I would get the mysql_connect() is an undefined function error (tried reinstalling the lib like you said, didnt work). I would like to have this fixed cause I've heard that php-5.1.6-4 has a security problem. If you need any more information please say so.

What happened when you tried to run mysql from the command line?
Did you get the same errors I did?

I just ran pacman -Syu again to answer your question. I also restarted mysql and apache just to be sure I was using the latest version of everything.
mysql -u root -p prompts me for a password and then drops me to a nice mysql> shell like it should. I can also do a USE <dbname>; and "show tables" etc just fine. So it apears this is a different problem from the one reported by the topic starter...
